I leave at 1100 rpms also but I have a 3200 vig. I have noticed these converters really like to be flashed at just off a idle to get the best 60fts.

I haven't been to the track either since my Vig install, so I'm wondering about it too. I do know that on the street, no matter how I launch, I can't get traction to save my life. I have to let out like four times before I hit second gear. Good luck down there, and I hope I see ya.

2000 rpm's then flooring it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Thats with a Vig. 3200 and got consistant 1.52 60ft's.

I use to do it right off idle then flash it but was getting 1.62 60ft's.

Just try different things,one way might work better than another.

btw: this is with E.T. Streets.
